Chapter 6

5:45PM

Kayla and the girls had made it back from their shopping spree at around 4:30, which gave Kayla enough time to get ready for her dinner date with Dwayne. Was this a date? That thought had been running through her mind the whole time. 'Of course it isn't, this is just two friends, going out to eat and catch up with each other.' However her mind battled with her half the time whether she should be doing this or not, of course she loved Dwayne, she loved him like one of her best friends, he was an amazing person and she could always count on him, whether it was to make her laugh and smile or console her after painful turmoil's in her life…such as the one she was going through right now.

She sighed as watched herself in the mirror and curled another piece of her long brown locks. She couldn't help but let her mind drift back to Randy. His eyes, the way they looked at her with such passion and desire. His smile the way he always had a smile on when he was with her. His body, the way he held her and wrapped her body around his a night. Just the thought sent shivers down her spine. Regardless of how much of an asshole he was for never allowing a serious relationship to form between them, she still loved him and not just for his looks and the way he made her feel but the small things he did, cooking her breakfast sometimes before he left in the morning, a couple times he left her a rose on his pillow before he left. Those small things showed her he cared, but apparently not enough to want to be committed with her or even spend his life with her.

As she curled her last strand of hair, she spritzed her head with some hairspray and reevaluated her make-up in the mirror; she had neutral browns to pop out her eyes and a soft pink lipstick to accentuate her full lips. She wasn't going to put much on for the night, she wanted to seem simple and classic, which brought her to her choice in outfit, as soon as she was going to look herself over in the mirror, a knock came at the door. She smiled and yelled "Coming!"

She quickly took a glance at herself and smiled, she was wearing a strapless black dress that hit her right to her knees and a short denim jacket overtop for the small breeze there would be that night and to pull it all together black strappy heels on her feet. She was satisfied, she quickly grabbed her small black bag and ran to open the door, when she did, she was speechless, not because of what Dwayne was wearing but because of how she felt when she saw him, this was the first time she felt herself attracted to any other man, other than Randy. He looked gorgeous and just with a simple white button down shirt and black slacks.

Kayla`s eyes met his and she smiled "Dwayne…"

He smiled that famous beautiful smile that made every girl melt "Hey Beautiful…" he replied leaning down and giving her a soft kiss on the cheek. From behind his back he revealed a dozen beautiful white lilies.

Kayla gasped "Dwayne, they`re gorgeous!" she took them from his hand and smiled up at him "Are you trying to get extra points tonight?" her smile turned to a smirk.

He soon matched her smirk and laughed softly "Never that, I just happen to know your favorite flowers are lilies."

She shook her head in amusement as she took a couple of steps back into the hotel room "Let me just get these in some water and we can go."

Dwayne leaned against the doorframe and watched her walk to the armoire filling up a vase that was already left sitting with water and the lilies "You look gorgeous, you know that?"

She blushed looking down at herself "Mhmm, watch that mouth Dwayne, it can get you into lots of trouble."

He smirked as he watched her approach him at the doorway, yet again "I think ill take my chances." He paused and held out his hand for her to take "Shall we go?" he asked as she smiled and took his hand in hers, closing the hotel room door behind her.

"So what are we having tonight?" Kayla questioned

Dwayne put his hand on the small of her back and led her first into the elevator "Anywhere you want, your choice."

Meanwhile as Kayla and Dwayne were caught up in their date as 'just friends', there was turmoil brewing in John and Nikki`s hotel room, which was not too far away from Randy`s, which is exactly how the current situation presented itself. John and Nikki had decided to get something to eat and Randy had the idea of checking up on his best friend to see if him and Nikki had eaten yet, imagine his surprise when he saw Kayla and Dwayne getting on the elevator together seeming very close.

"So…" Randy began clearing his throat "I just saw Kayla with Dwayne, anyone know anything about that?"

Nikki smirked from her seat on the hotel couch "What's it to you? Its not like Kayla is your property."

Randy eyed Nikki, sure as not to show her any of the emotions running through him, the anger or the jealousy "Just curiosity."

John snickered and cut in "Curiosity bullshit!" he moved around the couch and sat next to Nikki, resting his arm behind her head "Your dying to know if something could ever happen between them."

Randy had to admit, it was killing him knowing that Kayla was out with someone else, but why should it be? Randy was a free man, he wasn't one for commitments "Kayla is a free girl, if she wants to go out and give herself away, who am I to judge?" Randy's voice spewed with venom.

Nikki was pissed; did he just call Kayla a whore? "Give herself away? By going out on a date?" Nikki shook her head "She's not you Randy, you couldn't keep your dick in you pants even if your life depended on it."

John rubbed Nikki`s shoulder and whispered for her to calm down in her ear "And Man, you know, for a guy who could care less about what Kayla does anymore, you sure seem jealous."

Randy gritted his teeth and glared at Nikki, she was really starting to get on his nerves, thinking she knew everything about him "Listen both of you, What Kayla and I had is over and I could care less what she does anymore, but let me tell you something, she can do a lot better than Dwayne."

John shook his head and sighed "Man, you know I'm the last one to stick up for Dwayne, me and him never saw eye to eye, but you have to admit it, if not to me and Nikki, then to yourself, you fucked up, big time, Kayla isn't yours anymore."

Nikki rolled her eyes "She never was…" she looked up at the icy cold stare of Randy and she knew she saw anger but there was something else, she didn't know but his demeanor showed something very different, other than anger "You were too much of a shit head to commit to her, to know what you had when you had it right in front of you."

Randy knew Nikki and John were right, about everything, and he did have to admit it to himself, but he was damned if he was going to let anyone else know the truth, he just snickered and waved off their comments "You guys talk so much bullshit without knowing, the thing I had with Kayla was what it was, sex!"

John licked his lips, unamused, knowing Randy was lying "Whatever you say man."

"Yeah and as long as I'm here, you will never talk about Kayla like that again Randy, Understand me!?" Nikki exclaimed looking up at him from the couch.

7:00PM

Kayla couldn't take it, she was laughing so hard her stomach was hurting her. She hadn't laughed this much in such a long time, she felt so content and comfortable with Dwayne. They had been sharing stories for the past hour and to be honest neither of them had brought up the subject of 'Randy', which was perfect for her because she didn't want to think or hear about him at this moment.

"So of course, with that on the set, we are filming, and I make a complete ass of myself." Dwayne laughed recalling a memory of filming the Fast Five movie with actors Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and so forth.

Kayla just laughed on with him and smiled as her laugher subsided, she finally was able to take a drink of water to calm herself down "Dwayne, I'm having such a great time tonight, it has been so long that we haven't gotten together."

Dwayne looked into her green eyes, and saw the happiness that filled them and this was exactly what he wanted "Yeah me too beautiful…" he paused and took her hand in his "Maybe we can do this again, except…" he licked his lips finding a way to say this.

Kayla tilted her head with a small smile "Except…?"

Dwayne lifted his hand and rubbed her cheek gently and looked into her eyes "Kayla, maybe the next time we get together it can be on a more serious note?"

Kayla`s breath caught in her throat, she didn't know whether it was from his touch or his words but it scared her. She bit her lower lip in thought "Dwayne…I'm not sure-" before she could finish she was cut off.

"Kayla you have to know that I like you, and much more than just a friend…" he began "Please give me a chance to show you that I can make you happy, I can take away all this pain you feel."

Kayla smiled at his sincerity, but she wasn't ready, Dwayne was such a good person and if she was going to be his, she wanted to be his only, without any commitment to anyone else and her heart was still with Randy "Dwayne your amazing, but I'm not ready yet…" she stroked his fingers gently with her thumb "I want to give you my all, 100% of me and I cant do that right now."

He sighed and pulled back a little "Its this guy isn't it?"

She nodded her head and took another sip of water "I know I can get over him, but its going to take time and if I'm going to be with you, I want you to have all of me and not just half."

Dwayne let his head fall back with an amused sigh "You would think…" he began as his eye fell back on hers "that this would make me want to run away, but in fact it makes me admire and want you even more."

Kayla giggled softly, a bit confused "How so?"

"You're so honest with me and the fact that you want to wait until you can fully allow yourself to be with anyone else is amazing-"

"But?" Kayla asked

Dwayne laughed softly "How did you know there was a but?"

"Call it women's intuition." She replied with a smirk

"But, what if I were the one to make you completely forget this guy?"

Realization dawned all over her features, she bit her lower lip in thought, was he telling her he wanted to help her get over Randy? She didn't know what to say or how to react at this point, this man was gorgeous, amazing, and caring with her, was this a sign? "Dwayne, do you hear what your saying?"

"I wouldn't have said it if I thought I couldn't go through with it baby." He whispered

She couldn't help but smile but was she going to take him up on his offer? "I'm not sure Dwayne…"

"You let me know gorgeous, I'm always here."
